[AT] OT-LP Gas fireplace insert

[Larry & Barb Dotson]

We used a propane fire place log set for a couple years. It was supposed to 
be 100% effecient. We noticed the ceiling around the fireplace opening was 
becoming discolored. I purchased a carbon monoxide meter and it always 
showed a trace amount (but well below the safe limit). I changed over to the 
unit with 5 brikett catalist and the rooms are cleaner and the carbon 
monoxide meter stays on zero, also puts out more heat.
